im trying to take a head shot and put it on a color background, but you can tell it has been done how do I blend it into background!

Also, sometimes, if you shoot an image with a radically different background than what you end up putting the subject in front of digitally, reflections in hair highlights and shading can make it seem unnatural.  In those cases you really have no choice but to alter the subject subtly to make it "blend" better into the scene - e.g., with the Burn and Dodge tools.
People might make more specific suggestions if you'll put up an image (or even part of one) showing what you're working with.
